***William Shakespeare's Hamlet

retold by Bruce Coville

Here’s an excellent retelling of the story of Hamlet, prince of Denmark,
accessible to kids and adults alike. I would recommend this book
to older students studying Hamlet, because it enabled me to keep all the
main events and people straight. Bruce Coville even includes famous
lines and puts them in the context of the story. The evocative, eerie
illustrations add beautifully to the presentation.
